We compile the news, based on rumors, that the next MacBook Air M4 would have to be launched this year
This is the year of the MacBook Air since it will be renewed with the M4 chip and will come with interesting new features. Is the entry team of Cupertino and it is the one that is updated last. This is what has happened in the latest generation releases, although This year’s update promises new features that could attract attention of new and current Apple users. Here we will recap the most important ones according to the latest rumors.
A 12 MP Center Stage camera
One of the weak points historically speaking of Macs is their integrated camera. For many years a resolution of 720p was maintained but it has already made the leap to 1080p and with an interesting function such as Center Stage. This has already reached the MacBook Pro M4 and also the iMac with the same chip. Why is it important? Provides versatility in your video calls since the center is you, if you move the camera will follow you. Additionally, you can use the desktop view function, you can show what you have on your work table. Something very useful if you have to do a demonstration with something physical.
This is one of the best features for video calls
A good level of RAM with an even greater option
The change that caught the most attention on Macs with M4 was the 16 GB of base RAMsomething that had been in demand in the latest Apple Silicon chips. To make it fairer, Apple increased the amount of RAM on par with the M4 to the MacBook Air M2 and M3. It is a fact that the MacBook Air M4 will have 16 GB of RAM and could increase the already existing 24 GB of RAM additionally to define a new maximum capacity of 32 GB. For users who purchased the MacBook Pro M4 for this reason, they will now have an alternative.
Better compatibility with external displays
MacBook Air M3 can connect to two external displays with the Mac lid closed
Another differentiator between MacBook Pro and MacBook Air is the number of external displays you can connect. In previous generations, it was only possible to connect one display to the MacBook Air until the M3 chip allowed the use of a double screen but with the lid closed. An important limitation in case they wanted to have a triple screen taking into account the integrated screen. The MacBook Air M4 will allow two external screens plus the integrated screena reason that could also matter to users not to purchase the MacBook Pro for this reason alone.
The best battery for a slim laptop would be a MacBook Air
If Apple already showed what it could do with energy consumption in the MacBook Pro M4, gaining two hours than its previous generation, the MacBook Air M4 will not be the exception. Currently offering up to 18 hours of video playback and up to 15 hours of web browsing, this could increase to 20 hours and 16 hours at leastunless Apple has a major surprise for us and manages to match its older brother. Everything would depend on the M4 chip itself.

Finally, A feature that could convince MacBook Air users is a nanotextured screen option as already included in several products such as the iMac, MacBook Pro and iPad Pro M4. This technology was first seen with the Apple Pro Display XDR.
Recapitulating these new features, without a doubt, the best are the Center Stage camera and the battery level it can offer. The launch of a MacBook Air is special since it has always been defined as the lightest option in the range in terms of size and weight. We cannot forget that historic moment when Steve Jobs took the first generation in his history out of a paper envelope. It continues to retain its essence and with a larger screen size with the 15-inch option. Remember that previously the MacBook Air came in smaller options, starting at 11 inches.
